If you bring misbehaving dice, I am prepared to cast the demons out of them!

(Make sure to tell me whether you want them to roll low or high. I don’t want to bless your d20s to roll 20s more often and then find out you’re playing 2d20 and I’ve sentenced you to botches all the time.)

rolls of foam, so I usually go there. It’s more expensive than online sites, but it’s overall cheaper than ordering it. So maybe there’s somewhere like that in Vancouver?

Depending on what thickness you need, I’ve used thick EVA mats from a dollar store for armor. A problem I’ve run into with ordering foam is that the delivery can often be as much as the foam itself because a roll of foam is relatively large. There’s a costume store in town here that sells…

A grape vineyard showing the packing stations in a worker carrying empty boxes to her station

It's the peak season in the grape harvest in Arvin CA. "Sonia" is taking boxes back to her packing station. When packed with grapes, each box can weigh up to 22 lbs. It was 11:30 AM on this day and the temperature was already 91Β°. #WeFeedYou #CALOR

Farm workers harvesting broccoli

Farm workers harvesting broccoli

Workers harvesting broccoli on CAs Central Coast. They start at 6am and work 8hrs/day. It's hard as they have to bend down, use a knife to cut off the broccoli, stand up and repeat this cycle over and over. They cool down after work and their back just starts aching. #WeFeedYou

I’m quite impressed by the Edmonton Public School Board right now. They did a good job educating my kids K-12, too! Nice work all around. 😊

Keith Gerein: Forget Texas, Alberta has its own gerrymandering effort underway against urban centres Two UCP cabinet ministers want to create hybrid, rural-urban provincial ridings in Alberta in that may favour the party's political interests.

We gotta pay more attention, Alberta - gerrymandering ain’t just for Texas anymore.

In light of everything that's happened this week: solidarity with sex workers is one of the most important things writers, artists, and game designers (even SFW ones!) can commit to. Share this around.

Currently on the phone with Visa

Instead of starting with a complaint, I approached this as a Confused American Consumer who doesn't understand why they can't buy things off a website they use

The call center rep immediately asked if it was about Steam/itch

The image depicts Nelvana of the Northern Lights, a classic Canadian superheroine, in a dynamic, comic-book style. She is shown in mid-flight, her body angled forward with one fist extended, suggesting speed and determination. Nelvana wears a blue dress with white fur trim at the hem, paired with red gloves, boots, and a flowing red cape. Her headpiece, resembling a winged crown, is a distinctive feature, with white wings extending from the sides. Her long, dark hair streams behind her, and the background features a bold, retro color scheme of red, orange, and yellow concentric circles, enhancing the sense of motion. The overall style is reminiscent of Golden Age comics, with a slightly weathered texture adding to the vintage feel.

In August 1941, a new superhero debuted in Canadian comic books.
For the next six years, Canadians read the stories of an Inuk woman who protected the Canadian North.
She even predated the creation of Wonder Woman.
This is the story of Nelvana of the Northern Lights.

I’m so tired of hearing Rubio & other rightwingers now claiming that if you’re on a green card you’re a β€˜guest’ in this country. BS. You’re a lawful permanent resident. The clue is in the name. If someone is a permanent resident in your home, are they the same as the guests who come and go? Come on.

Actually I think it would be good and right to tell people "This is what you voted for."

Don't even argue or engage. Just let them sit with it.

This is what they voted for.

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.
